EARLY DOSE: "LEONARD BERNSTEIN!!!"
Well, at least that puts an end to most annoying trend in sports: the Passion of the 'Red Sox Nation.'
Someday, maybe I'll discuss why there are so many cities that have it so much worse, but in the meantime, a Kingdom Tip of the Cap to all you Sox fans out there for steamrolling my 2d Favourite Baseball Team. If I were one to believe in fate/destiny, I'd say it was just your year. But let's face it, that team full of morons and clowns seized the day far more than the Upright Citizen's Brigade that is the StL Cards.
In any event, in honour of the incredibly bad taste in my mouth right now, and in notice of the fact that I'll probably boycott most of my favourite Internet sites over the next day or two, and upon recognition of the fact that I'm actually HEADED to Boston in two days, there will be NO Link of the Day today. I just... I just don't have the strength. Instead, direct your attention below to this week's (admittedly, lacksadaysical) Rules.
There WILL be a Song of the Day, today, though. Let's face another thing: the Yough Cougars football team is in the Playoffs. The Red Sox are World Champions (i'm going to vomit... just a second...) ... ... Trip is a Puss, and there's just a HOST of other randomally ass-backwards things going on in the universe right now. Thus, it is certain that the Apocalypse is before us. Since I'm almost SURE that no one will read this tomorrow, because there won't BE a tomorrow, the Song of the Day is REM's "It's the End of the World as We Know It (and I feel fine)."
In honesty, it doesn't hurt a TENTH as much as if the Buccos had lost, but it's still a little disheartening. Especially losing to the team I despise like no other. But will I despise them tomorrow? I mean, their fans are just ordinary fans now, aren't they?? Ordinary. Obnoxious fans. Like Philly Flyer fans. Actually, now they've become what they've hated most: a super-over-priced team that bought their way to a championship. What now, for the Red Sox, I wonder? Perhaps they are simply the next in a long line to realize that being "normal" is just not that good.
Ho, hum. Before I wax too poetically about baseball (something I could do OnDemand), I'll get back to working on this brief that's due tomorrow, and hoping that a big, hulking asteroid doesn't mow us all down in our sleep.
Just in case though, I love you ALL.
(except YOU, Johnny Damon, Pedro Martinez, Bronson Arroyo, and Manny Ramirez. You're all FREAKING CLOWNS!)*

*notice: The Kingdom Proudly salutes the following Red Sox that WILL be accepting rings next spring: Former Pirates we loved Pokey Reese and Adam "the Mayor of Altoona" Hyzdu; blue-collar badass and Olympic Gold Medalist Doug Mentkiewicz; and straight-up balls to the wall Curt Schilling. The rest of the m can die of ghonorrea, and rot in hell.
